Praying for the people of Iran.
According to a report from within Iran on Salon, the paramilitary thug are now using machetes on protesters
Never give up. Never surrender.
What will Obama try when he sees his days numbered? Mark it down! He won’t go quietly…
How awful, but unsurprising. In reality, what are the chances of this same thing happening here if 2010 and 2012 don’t go the way the party in power believe they should?
I heard someone on MSM saying there were a “few” people protesting here and there. Maybe they thought that the truth would not come out of Iran and their corrupt non-reporting would stand. I am so disgusted with our own media, I can’t stand it! They have sold out their own country and now are selling out Iran. Pigs.
Yes, Twitter is actually getting the word out! Prayers are going up for those brave people. I hope they somehow know we are in their corner!
Is there evidence that the elections in Iran were fraudulent? Aren’t these just pictures of disgruntled Republicans whose candidate didn’t win?
Or is it just true that in a society with state run media like Iran ( and now the US), there can never be a true election as the people can’t get the true full story of the issues?
Not very great, really. Iran has had an entrenched police state for many decades.
Our military, our police departments, and our armed citizenry would not be good for thugs with machetes. Forty percent of the nation self-identifies as conservatives. A lot more would fight the imposition of a thugocracy, and we’d do it very effectively.
BINGO!
this is a great example of why the Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment.
too bad the average Iranian isn’t armed.
Too bad they don’t have a 2nd Amendment in Iran, they could rid themselves of the repressive mullahs!
This is a reminder why ours is so important!
redc1c4, great minds, as they say! Michelle attracts lots of them.
Keep the photos coming, Michelle.
Looks like you’re waking up the drive-by media.
Reuter’s link on Drudge says “many tens of thousands” – sounds like they’re trying to downplay the numbers. If this were a different set of circumstances, it’d be the million man march.
The militia just opened fire on the protesters.
This is getting UUGGGLLLYYYY
Pro-government shooting into crowd … one dead.
If Obama thinks he will not win majority of votes, it may get ugly. Here is what is happening so far: those who speak against him are branded racists. Would he try to declare certain voters ineligible?
Where is Jimmah? I would have thought he would be certifying this election as evidence of freedom and respect in the muslim world? Maybe he is afraid of winding up a hostage of Ahmadinejad, just like the Americans were under his presidency. Our current administration really wants to cozy up to this hostage taker and terrorist, and these protests make it harder. I bet there will be some official American party line praising the Iranian people for their ability to hold free elections and supporting the mad ahmad. They are downplaying the protests already.
He, like the other left nuts, are thinking to themselves “why didn’t we have this sort of passion over Florida in 2000?”
The same thing will not happen here. We have guns. Big difference.
comrade obama needs to send in the black panthers from Philly and some acorn workers!

Speaking of the million man march, someone should ask Barry Soetoro/Obama whether he attended that “million man” march.
Barry’s “inspiration”, Jeremiah Wright, co-wrote a book about the million man march. Their ties to the Nation of Islam and Louis F@rr@kh@n run deep.
Oh, and don’t forget Barry’s Muslim cousin Odinga, and the riots he incited in Kenya…
RedPill…Soon, it won’t matter if he is not a U.S. citizen. He is probably working to change that law as we speak. Then, when he is found out, it won’t matter. He put his hand on the Bible and took an oath to preserve and protect the Contitution. He has committed treason. I wonder if he feels his “oath” wasn’t valid because his hand was on a Bible and not the koran?
RE: Soetoro…I remember a comment or link on MM’s site where the person believed Barry is an atheist. I agree with that. I couldn’t put my finger on it before..Muslim or Christian. His actions make me think ‘nothing’ is there.
Shots being fired into a crowd generally causes the crowd to panic, run, and disperse. If America is to survive the coming times when that will happen here, the firing of weapons at protesters needs to have the opposite effect, that being a surge towards the people with guns, taking them down, and turning the guns upon them.
george w. where are you. TAKE A BOW WHEREVER THAT IS. axis of evil is falling apart.
No, I think “Convenientist” is the best way to describe Obama.
Just as he presents himself as a moderate or centrist when it suits his purpose, Obama’s willing to change or emphasize one religion over another depending on the day, the audience, and his inclination.
When talking to secular progressive liberals, he’s an atheist or agnostic. When talking in Cairo, he’s Muslim. When courting Evangelicals, he’s Christian.
Convenientist, the new religion for politicians!
Absolutely, and when talking to the AMA he talks of Reagan and financial bottoms lines. He tells them how it’s all good to debate…
He talks about all those things his specific audience would appreciate. If he could, he’d give his audience that big ‘ol collective pat on the back you see him doing time and time and time and time again.
Probably will look a lot like the idiotic riots they had in LA last night after the Lakers won — with the help of the Black Panther Party, of course.
CNN attributed the gun fire to those volunteer army personel celebrating. Fox news said it was people shooting others.
Nail on the head! Thanks. Barry’s ‘nothing’ I mentioned was in regards to his religious belief, and that allows him to practice his Convenientistism.
How did shooting protesters work for the Shah?
While in Cairo he-President Hussein Obama- quoted the Koran and stated:
“All of us have a responsibility to work for the day when the mothers of Israelis and Palestinians can see their children grow up without fear; when the Holy Land of three great faiths is the place of peace that God intended it to be; when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Israel, when Moses, Jesus, and Mohamed (peace be upon them) joined in prayer.”
That is a definitive rejection of the Deity of Jesus Christ and proof that he is NOT a Christian; no my Liberal friends it is NOT a matter opinion. He may claim to be a Christian and I can claim to be Micky Mantle and we would both be lying.
Hmmm, I’m sure no one here is happy with the recent direction of domestic US politics. But, we should keep comments drawing parallels with Tehran in perspective imho. The people of Iran are truly under the thumb of -rulers-. The people of the US voted in a group that might like to become that, that would remove our 2nd amendment rights that would choke back our 1st amendment… the folks in the streets of Iran haven’t -had- those sorts of legal protections.
We need to get out to elections. Iranians are fighting (as in sweat and blood) for their lives and their freedom. All IMO.
I don’t think we should be rooting for Mousavi as I doubt he’ll be a better president than Ahmadinejad. He was the PM in the 80s, after being hand picked by Ayatollah Khomeni and was in power during the mass executions of 1988. While there is debate as to whether he or the Ayatollah ordered the executions, it really doesn’t matter. If he ordered it then we know he’s an evil b*stard, if he didn’t then we know that he’ll be a useless leader who will not stand up to the Ayatollah.
Really, I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Regardless of whether Ahmadinejad or Mousavi is president, you can count on Iran pursuing nuclear weapons while continuing to threaten the entire middle east.
If our government had more than one functioning neuron we’d be quietly offering weapons and support for the protesters.
But it won’t happen and this opportunity will be lost.
Maybe. Maybe not. Even if we did, I doubt the change would be much for the better. It’s not like the protesters are on our side anyway.
I am, however, enjoying watching the Iranians destroy each other without us having to get involved. Think about how much we’re saving on bullets and bombs – and American lives!

Pretty stark read by our British cousins.
The other end of the axis of evil is threatening nuclear war.
Hmmmm… Germany showing more stones than the US…
But the MSM did not properly represent Republicans and Democrats (and Independents) in the last 2 election cycles. They sat on important info, released only favorable info for their party of choice, spun data to benefit one party over the other, reported the sides disporportionately, flat out lied about other issues including the Dan Rather debacle and Acorn, demonized Bush during a time of war, and basically skewed the info to support one candidate over the other.
It worked, Obama became the President and immediately moved at lighting speed to implement all his utopian policies. That 401k I had that lost 25% of it’s value, where did it go again? To Obama constituents? Have you seen them fawn over this idiot? They get tingles up their legs thinking about him.
Alinsky, Piven, Ayers, Marx. Obama follows these ideologies and is implementing them while he has the chance. Make no mistake. Where he may take us is not good.
Where he
may takehas taken and will take us is not good.Sorry. Reality.
He has to be stopped. Peacefully, but forcefully.
We have to break the machine.
Oh, of course he hasn’t committed treason, and OF COURSE he’s eligible to be President. “No person, except a Natural Born Citizen…” obviously means you can’t be president if you were delivered by Cesarean Section.
/sarc
Just a few short days ago, the jove talking one was saying how he had brought change to Iran.
Must be just a bunch of tea baggers, MSM coverage is pretty thin, nothin’ to see here folks…..that dang militia that Napolitano warned us about is just starting trouble for the law abiding citizens of Iran. (oh wait, these militia’s support the GOVERNMENT)
Ever get the impression that the “one” is being curiously silent regarding late breaking news from Iran? Same with North Korea-birds of a feather…..
The Chicago Gang thought they were the BA thugs on the block. Well, now they are encountering the REAL ones and the Chicago crowd is paralyzed.
Welcome to the Majors kiddies.
“We just don’t know enough” said Joe Biden commenting on Iran’s election…
“We just don’t know enough”… isn’t that seemingly fit for this administration… along with his comment regarding the economy… “We missed it. We were simply wrong”
It’s time for the organ grinder and his monkey to step aside…
“We just don’t know enough”
“We just don’t know enough”
“We just don’t know enough”
Well… duh.
Just the standard Obama response when encountering Iranian, North Korean, Russian, or Red Chinese Thug Thizzle.
If we can forment and support people who wish to overthrow the regieme, we might just end up with someone a lot more willing to work with us. and even if we don’t we will at least have bought time for Israel to deal with the nuclear threat.
Mousavi could turn out to be another Gorbachev or Yeltsin. I watched the crowd in the video link posted on Hot Air . . . damnation, it shames our tea parties . . . those people mean business and are taking the knocks (and worse) to prove it, not to mention the sheer numbers. The mullahs are probably having to change their underwear on an hourly basis, wondering if they’re gonna be swinging from a lamppost a´la Mussolini. Obama could at least make a statement condemning the crackdown and issue a call for order. He’s probably hiding under his desk. Biden and Hillary! are shrugging without any guidance from upstairs, and if George W is watching, I hope he’s hoisting a Lone Star in honor of and in respect to the Iranians who are risking life and limb for a voice. Even the friggin’ Iraquis didn’t get this worked up, and we were helping them.
Tea Parties on steroids.
God bless the Patriots of Iran.
There rumors in the world press that foreign thugs are being resorted to in Iran.
This would indicate that the domestic formations of the police state are not reliable, which would be IMMENSE news.
Following left leaning websites as a hobby I found the this whole story interesting. The left seems incapable of looking at this without someone early on squaking “1953″ after that it will of course turn into a Blame America Fest. Little to no mention about a White House response until it came out, and then it was barely commented on. Libtards, gotta love ‘em. In Iran I think the old Mullahs are learning that there is a downside to a high birthrate. A large number of young people who are not buying their load of crap any more. Welcome to the Revolution Part II folks.
Amen! Here we are, supposed lovers of freedom and Iranians are showing how to take to the streets. They are being threatened, beaten, and intimidated. I don’t advocate violence, but in the case of Iranians, I’m not sure they have much other choice.
I only wish Americans would take to the streets in love of what our founding fathers set forth and our Constitution. We also have a thug for a president; and no, he won’t help the Iranians. It’s pretty hard to stand up and talk about fraud in elections when you just completed an election fulled with fraud.
